A quick post but I had to share my latest discovery - letting things go! Chloe has had a difficult few days. I'm not sure if it's the shock of a new baby starting to sink in or because we've been inside lots due to bad weather. She has been showing all the behaviours of a stereotypical stroppy toddler; ie - doing all she can to wind up mummy!
Today I realised that my usual coming down hard on bad behaviour wasn't getting us anywhere as Chloe was looking for a battle! This was clear by the fact she was announcing to me all the naughty things she was doing ha! So this afternoon I am trying to fight my controlling nature and acting completely bored and unimpressed by Chloe's antics. And it's actually working!
